Join First Person American and Julie Mann's Human Rights Class at Newcomers High School as we premiere short films that explore personal immigration narratives from high school students about the people that welcomed them and changed their lives forever.

What's Your Story? will premiere Welcoming Stories Behind the Scenes, a short film that shows how the students transformed from storyteller to activist, as well as three student-produced short films of Dino's Welcoming Story, Masuma's Welcoming Story, and Yasmany's Welcoming Story. Newcomers High School students will share how they became a welcoming person, and give tips on how to be more welcoming to immigrants in your local community.
